Chinese Dandelion Dumplings

Servings:

I submitted this Chinese dandelion dumplings recipe for the 2009 Dandelion Cook-Off at Breitenbach Winery Dandelion Festival. These were a crowd favorite, especially the Asian-style dipping sauce. If you like dandelion greens, you'll love these. Formed dumplings can be frozen up to two months.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine pork, cabbage, dandelion greens, bamboo shoots, 4 minced green onions, bok choy, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 teaspoons sesame oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Cover the bowl; refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Beat egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; set aside. Place 1 wonton wrapper on a flat work surface (cover additional wrappers with a moist towel to prevent drying); place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in center of wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with egg white. Fold wrapper around filling and seal edges with a moistened fork. Repeat with remaining wrappers, pork mixture, and egg white.
  3. 3 Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add dumplings, in batches, seam-sides up. Cook until dumplings are slightly brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour ½ cup water into the skillet; cover. Gently steam dumplings until they begin to sizzle and water evaporates, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip dumplings; continue cooking until bottoms begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
  4. 4 Combine ½ cup soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, remaining 4 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons chili oil, remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon minced ginger, and remaining 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl for the dipping sauce.
